A CREWE man named, shamed and banned from the Derby Docks estate indefinitely for confronting a woman with a knife now faces eviction from his home.

Chris Lyons, known to many by his nickname “Mouse”, may never be allowed back on to the Docks estate after a court order banned him from setting foot in the area following his conviction in February for the public order offence.

He will be arrested if he is seen there again, and is waiting to hear whether he will be evicted from his Wulvern Housing home of 10 years in Goulden Street, near the estate. A spokesman for Wulvern Housing said: “We are satisfied that his behaviour required swift enforcement action. We will not tolerate anti-social behaviour in our communities.”

Last week, posters bearing his image were put up all around the Docks stating Mr Lyons, 51, had threatened a woman tenant with a knife after she complained to housing bosses about noise coming from his 41-year-old girlfriend Sharon Hough’s flat in the Docks.

Mr Lyons, who admitted the offence, says he snapped after the tenant made the latest in a long line of complaints.

He added the situation would never have got out of control if the issue had been dealt with sooner.

“Sharon had been asking Wulvern to come and mediate between us and the neighbour, who has been making complaints about noise. We thought we had sorted the problem out with her but she had made another complaint.

“I went downstairs and hammered on the door, and she said “He’s got a knife”. I had a small knife I had been cutting some chicken with, and I put it behind my back as soon as she said that.

“I pleaded guilty and accepted my punishment, but then they put me up all over the place like Billy the Kid.”
